Good but not too expensive audio interface

Hi,
Can anyone recommend any reasonably cheap audio interfaces that have an xlr mic input and either a firewire output or usb output for use with garageband? I want a good enough signal to be able to record some near professional level vocals ( I realise this is a bit of an arbitrary measurement of quality but you know what I mean). I tried the Phonic Firefly 302 but the signal was terrible and I couldn't get it to work properly (presuming that the signal I got wasn't the best it transmits).
Cheers.

I also have an ART Tube MP - bought it especially for my 2 Valve Juniors (1 head & cab and 1 V3 Combo)... it works very nice as a volume boost for the cleans (after about 11:00 o'clock the VJ becomes raunchy) and also as a bit of a gain boost too when I crank em up - you can actually overdrive the 12AX7 tube in it. Nice lil' "mod" that requires no soldering and mucking about inside the VJ. I like mine a lot.

    GL looks good but not in Fixed assets- Is there a process we can review or
    find more information on it

    Hi,
    I am pasting my comments next to yours :
    These are the issues that needs to be resolved:
    • Depreciated balance are over stated in Fixed Assets and needs to be adjusted to reflect what is in GL. => I wasn't sure how this was was possible, since I  assumed that your Asset depreciation journals in GL were being fed from FA. So if depreciation was thought to be incorrect in FA, its corresponding balance in GL should've been incorrect as well. But I guess that's not the case because your other questions imply that some of these assets were acquired and their might have been some conversion activity involved.
    • Fixed Assets mass additions are selecting GL accounts that should not be selected. We need to know how to change the criteria for selection. +=> Check the Asset Clearing and CIP clearing accounts on your asset categories+
    Later:
    • We need to learn the proper way to convert assets we acquired from acquisition into our Oracle Fixed Assets system, so that depreciation start at the time we acquire the assets. => That is correct, you could change your original date placed in service to the acquisition date as part of conversion and if you have the correct prorate convention, they should depreciate the way you want it to.

  • An enemy to follow me around the screen but not too fast

    Hi I'm building English teaching apps but through games.
    I'd like a BUG enemy to follow me around but NOT TOO fast as I have little kids of 5 years old using this,
    Would it be something like get the coordinates of my HERO character and send the BUG there.
    I use POINT at the moment to send my HERO to where the mouse clicks.
    Could I send the BUG there as well but using less x and y increments.
    Would this be too much for the processor - too much going on with music playing as well?

    again, don't remove it:
    var speed:Number=.99;
    public function onEnterFrame(event:Event):void {
    var xDistance:Number=clickPoint.x-this.hero.x;
    var yDistance:Number=clickPoint.y-this.hero.y;
    if (Math.abs(xDistance)>10) {
    var angle:Number=Math.atan2(yDistance,xDistance);
    this.hero.x+=v*Math.cos(angle);
    this.hero.y+=v*Math.sin(angle);
    } else {
    this.hero.gotoAndPlay("static");
    enemy1.x = speed*enemy1.x+(1-speed)*hero.x;
    enemy1.y = speed*enemy1.y+(1-speed)*hero.y;
    if (clickPoint.x>=hero.x) {
    this.hero.gotoAndPlay("right");
    //trace(Math.abs(xDistance));
    if (this.hero.x>=clickPoint.x) {
    this.hero.gotoAndPlay("left");
    //trace(Math.abs(xDistance));

  • Update of 10.4.9 not compatable with audio interface

    the update of 10.4.9 from 10.4.8 made my audio interface (m-audio 410 firewire) undetectable. is it a good idea to reistall the original software into my macbook? how does this effect my software (logic pro 7, iomega harddrive)? should i remove my software first?
    any recommendations greatly appreciated

    After going through this another hour I was able to get it to the login screen and now my websites are back up. At this point I am afraid to fully login.
    What worked, not sure if it had anything to do with it was I was able to hold down option and then select the second drive. It then either rebooted like it was supposed to or it did the same thing and died and reboot, hard to tell actually.
    Is there cases of the drive volumes getting changed or something like this? I was counting the last 10 restarts, between 5 and 15 seconds before it rebooted. Usually it didn't seem like it had any time for the OS booting to get started.
    please help if you have seen this if there is anything I should do?
    For the time being while it is up, I am going to update my new server, my second server and set it up.
    thanks.

  • Mac not recognizing mixer/Audio interface

    HELP   HELP    HELP
    All you home recording studio enthusiast out there I really need some help, the sooner the better as I have a session tomorrow.  here is my issue.  I can’t record an audio (vocal) track.  Here is my gear, DAW: Reason 8, Mac running Yosemite (version 10.10), mixer: Behringer 1204 USB (with built audio interface).  I’ve also tried the following stand alone audio interfaces, TASCAM US 100 and M-Audio Fast track Pro.  Key board Axiom 25.  I gone into preferences and selected USB Audio CODEC for both output and input on the MAC, did the same under reason preference audio tab.  when I create a audio track in Reason, in the audio input section I see “No audio input”.  When I select the drop down menu there is a section for Mono input and Stereo for me to check this is followed by a grayed out section that states “No audio input available, please check your sound card settings.
    The other funny thing is when I use Garage Band, I have no issues recording.  I just recorded in garage band using the Behringer 1204.  Am I missing some simple setting somewhere,missing a channel routing.  I need any help anyone can give me.

    Me too!
    Almost the same as Rharrell - Reason 8, Mac running Yosemite (version 10.10.3), irig pro audio interface (I pick up my Apogee Duet this week but I think i'll have the same problem). No audio inputs available, please check your sound card settings.
    Can anybody help please.

  • Mainstage not working with audio interface

    Hi,
    I'm having problems in using Mainstage with my audio interface, a Tascam US-600.
    Mainstage does not receive any input signals when I connect a microphone or a guitar into the Tascam and use it with Mainstage. I selected the audio interface as audio input and tried with all the inputs (from 1 to 6) that the channel strip let me select. For the audio output, when I select the built-in output I can not hear nothing; when I select the Tascam outputs, I can hear just the NON-PROCESSED sounds.
    I don't know what to do, because I realized these other facts:
         - Mainstage works with a MIDI device directly connected to the Mac with a MIDI-USB cable;
         - The Tascam, as written above, receive the input signals. Using it with GarageBand it gives me no problems, with the same instruments (both                microphones, guitars and the audio interface) and connections!
         - Also if it gives me problems with feedbacks and noises, the built-in microphone seems to work with Mainstage - at least MS recognise input signals.
    Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry for my English if it's not so smooth.

    The problem is that since the MacBook only has two USB ports, I am having to use a USB hub. <snip>
    When I quit Mainstage and unplug the USB hub and only using either both interfaces, or one interface and the midi controller, it works fine.
    Hi
    Is the Hub a powered one or ?
    Sounds like you need a better (powered?) one

    edit
    Could be an overall power limitation if everything is bus powered? Can you use external PSU's for any of the kit?

  • MSI RS480M2 - works good - but not perfect ;)

    Hi ! I got a problem with my mainboard. I read that if i want to use Win 2000 (I got license so I didn't want to change my OS) I have to setup bios for SATA (RAID), to avoid pio mode error in win2k IDE driver. Of course it works very good, but.. the problem is when I use SATA mode - the bios splash (POST procedure) takes very long time. How to speed up POST procedure in SATA mode ?? In PATA mode POST takes 2-3 seconds - in SATA 15-20s. And the second question is ... how can I use SATA mode in WinXP x64 (I got 120 days beta from MS webpage) - there is no driver on ATI disk for x64. Is it possible ?? Now I'm doing bios setup to change from SATA (in w2k) to PATA (in XP64) everytime I want to boot. Is WinXP64 compatible with SiI SATA without drivers ? What do you think ?

    If you explore the download packages, there's a MakeDisk.txt with the following instructions on buidling the floppy:
       If you lost your Driver Disk labeled as "Silicon Image SATA RAID Drivers"

  • Audio from Track 1 good but not Track 2. How to fix?

    I have dialog between two people. One recorded on a Boom, and the other recorded on a lavalier microphone both going into the same receiver. The problem I am having now is that When listening to subject one Track one sounds crisp and clear in the left ear of my earphones, but in the right ear she sounds like she is in a tunnel. And for subject two it the same problem but the complete opposite earphone sides.
    What I am thinking can be a solution is splitting deleting the track that is bad for each subject and making the good track a MONO. Is there any way to do this? Or maybe a better way to fix my problem?
    Here is a link to what the audio sounds like:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dtzhg1yERA

    Hopefully you recorded this material as Dual Mono.
    From what you posted - each track is good for the speaker directly targeted - Yes?
    If so, this is how it should be. Pan the tracks to center and cut between them to isolate the good audio for each speaker.

  • Whats a good laptop to get thats not too expensive

    Was just wondering whata good laptop to get that wont cost an arm and leg?

    Humerous, hehe.
    In all seriousness, there are a variety of laptops that no doubt suit your needs wonderfully. You can definitely do a search on the Best Buy website under laptops and change the parameters to LOW TO HIGH. That will give you the cheapest laptops.
    If you'd like to know which laptop will give you the best bang for the buck, so to speak, we'll need to know a little about what you intend to do with it? Give us a breakdown on your expected daily tasks - be it merely browsing the web and checking email, or playing games. (If games, which ones? Facebook style or more intense?)
    I'm certain we can come up with something you'll really enjoy, if you'll spend a little time giving us more information!
    Look forward to hearing from you!

  • Attached iPod to TV but not getting any audio

    I attached iPod to TV via Apple's digital A/V adapter and HDMI cable.  The video works great but I am not getting any sound. My tv is a samsung smart tv and I also have a samsung home theater system. I even turned of the home theater system completely to see if that was the issue but no audio comes through either device or the iPod when it is connected.  Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

  • How to Go Beyond iWeb, But Not Too Far Beyond...

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm a big fan of iWeb, and it's really been such a great tool to help me create http://www.armansworld.com/my site. It works seamlessly with MobileMe and my personal domain, and honestly makes life so much better. I don't know advanced web design, CSS, and whatnot, plus having an automated blog and everything is great. Without it, there's no way I could produce such a site like I have now.
    However, I am learning how to make my own HTML customizations, adding Javascript and other features and such to my site. But that causes clashes with iWeb.
    For example, I was able to create a http://m.armansworld.com/mobile version of my website optimized for iPhone and iPod Touch. I did some research on the web and found a script that would automatically detect mobile browsers and redirect them to my mobile site. The script is great and it works. The trouble is implementing it.
    iWeb doesn't help at all when you want to put custom HTML into the page—not "embedding" something, but BUILDING it in. So I open up the index.html with Dashcode and put in the additional code, which works fine. That is, until I make a change to my site and iWeb totally overrides my code, so I have to go in and put it again. Every single time. Not cool.
    Which leads to another pet peave of mine about iWeb. The thing I hate the most is the fact that by default iWeb sets up the index files so that www.yourdomain.com redirects to www.yourdomain.com/yoursitename which redirects to www.yourdomain.com/yoursitename/yourfirstpage. Why don't I like it? It's because that causes my site to be bookmarked as the whole long link. Which is alright, except what if I change something? What if I change the site name, or I change the Welcome page? If I change anything then when someone tries to use the bookmark they'll get a "Page Not Found" message. I don't want that!
    If iWeb could be normal and have your first page actually be located at www.yourdomain.com/index.html, that would be wonderful. I'd be much happier anyway.
    So I confess: my site index.html is totally my work. It's simply a "window", a frame into my site—the link at the top never changes, it always shows www.armansworld.com. Of course I give up easy access to unique links for viewers, but I avoid trouble with future changes vs. bookmarks. So every time I update my site, I have to go in and re-do the index.html file.
    Point being, I'm going beyond the entire "visual thing" and starting to want to implement my own code into webpages, however I can't do that without iWeb overriding my work. On the other hand, I'm not skilled enough to maintain the site myself without the help of iWeb. What I'd love is a compromise—a plug-in or something for iWeb that allows you to make custom code additions to any part of the page, which iWeb will totally leave alone, so you can continue to use iWeb for the site yet also make your own modifications. Modifications beyond iWeb and it's ability.
    Sorry for the rant—but does anyone know of anything or have any ideas? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.

    Unfortunately, that is the way iWeb is and has been since iWeb 06. I assume that you are publishing directly to MobileMe when you do?
    If you want to make 'custom' changes and add your own code, then when you do this, you cannot publish directly to MMe - to stop these changes being overridden, as you have found when publishing directly, go to iWeb and select the publish to a local folder option rather than ftp to MMe. Your site will then be published to your desktop.
    Next download a copy of Cyberduck which is a dedicated ftp program and use this to upload your site to MMe - you need to select the webdav option to do this though as you are uploading to MMe.
    If you upload your site in this way, then the changes that you implement by using html in a snippet or otherwise will not be overridden - this is how most people implement stats when using iWebSEO - they publish to a folder on the desktop from iWeb, use iWebSEO and then use this to upload their site.
    This is the way you have to do it with iWeb - if you want to customise it then you can't upload directly, as you have found your site gets overridden.

  • A bit off topic, but not too far

    due to the lack of an autodownload for JRE 1.4 I am forced to use another method for installing it. Does anyone know a way to check what JRE version the user has using some sort of web scripting? I've seen examples of how to check within an applet or application - but I don't really want to do that.

    due to the lack of an autodownload for JRE 1.4 I am
    forced to use another method for installing it. Does
    anyone know a way to check what JRE version the user
    has using some sort of web scripting? Looking at Sun's download pages for the JRE, I can't see that kind of JRE identification, and those guys should know how to do it.
    It makes sense, because if it existed, it means that it is possible by a web site to spy your system.
    What is possible to have some applets running on a page, and a submit button next to where the user can answer the question, if the applet is running properly. E.g. put up an 1.3 applet with some animation and an 1.4 applet with an animation. The let the user hit that submit button where the animation plays properly.
    This way the user discloses the information to your site, that's technical possible and ok. Spying is not.
    I'm not sure how the latest installers by Sun work, might be some active X based spying installer, which reports the proper config. :-)

  • Text placement in Firefox and Safari is good but not in ie7

    I am using DW CS4 wit Windows Vista
    When I preview my site in Firefox and Safari the text is exactly where I want it but when I look at it in IE7 the text is not in the correct position.
    I designed the website using css with an image in the background of the container and then postioned text on top of the image with margins/padding on the Div tags.
    Div tags LeftContent and RightContent are placed correctly, But Div Tags Quote1, Quote2, Quote3, & Quote4 do not place correctly in IE7 but they do place correcly in Safari and Firefox.
    Is there some code needed for IE7?
    The site also looks right in live preview
    The Site is http://gigharborwashington.com/new/

    Hi Gary,
    Thank you for your help.  I used photoshop to slice the image into 8 images and then opened in in DW CS4 and created a div tag for each image.  Then I inserted a div tag for the text into each image div tag.
    In Safari, Firefox and IE7 the text appears where I want it.  I think I may have done this the long way but it worked.  If anyone has a short cut I would like to hear it.

    Thank you again.
